Our before and after school program is for children attending our nearby elementary schools (Northeast, Glenellen, and Oakland). We also provide childcare services for school age children (kindergarten through the summer following 5th grade). We often hear praise from local public school kindergarten teachers regarding how well prepared our children are when they begin their public school experience. Our programs are designed to be age appropriate, with a focus on group social skills, academic concepts, creative thinking and problem solving. All children are grouped by age (18-24 months, 24-36 months, etc.) in individual classrooms. Our preschool/childcare programs begin at age 18 month and continue through pre-kindergarten. In essence, we follow the same educational and childcare guidance set by the State of Tennessee for both city and private schools. The primary reason for the move was based on the fact that we will be providing a private kindergarten to our community. What this accreditation means for you and your child is that our standards in all areas of childcare services far exceed the basic licensing requirements of the Tennessee Department of Human Services.Īs part of the Settlement's continuous emphasis to improve our childcare and educational services, we have officially become a Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) affiliated learning facility. This accreditation serves as a clear statement to the quality of the service we provide. In 1996 we received accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the oldest and most highly regarded childcare authority in the U.S. In recognition of our high quality environment, programs and staff we qualified as Montgomery County Tennessee’s first nationally accredited childcare facility. We understand that parents need to follow their daily pursuits knowing that their children are safe and are enjoying their day in a safe developmentally appropriate environment. Our mission is to provide the best in early childhood education and childcare services for each of our enrolled children.
